The opening ceremony of the 3rd yellow flower tea festival, Ban Vuong festival 2020 and the ceremony announcing the recognition of Mieu Ong - Mieu Ba as a national relic will be organized at 8pm on December 26 in Ba Che district, Quang Ninh province.
The festival is scheduled to comprise two parts including a ceremony and an art program. After the ceremony launching the 3rd yellow flower tea festival, Ban Vuong festival 2020 and the ceremony announcing the recognition of Mieu Ong - Mieu Ba as a national relic, the art program introducing the societal and cultural potentials and strength of Ba Che district is expected to leave locals and tourits great impression.
This is a good occasion to honour the national identity, strengthening solidarity among people in the province and create a jubilant atmosphere to encourage them further develop Ba Che district.
Within the framework of the festival, there will be several interesting programs such as the art performance on the Dao ethnic minority ancestors’ journey across the sea to find a new land with a ceremony commemorating Ban Vuong, the ancestor of the Dao, a folk dance program of the Dao ethnic group, a tour to yellow flower tea farms, and a variety of folk games.
The yellow flower tea is a famous medical product of Ba Che district. It is made from flowers of golden Camellia plants growed in Don Dac commune in this mountainous district.
Camellia is a famous garden plant worldwide due to the big size, golden colour and transparent waxy appearance of its flowers. Golden Camellia bloom is also widely used to make tea with health teas and beverages being successfully developed and sold in Southeast Asian countries.
Tea flowers contained many nutrition compounds such as protein, sugar, sucrose, vitamin, amino acid, tea polyphenols and caffeine. Therefore, this kind of tea can provide wonderful benefits for good physical, mental, and emotional health.
Located in the eastern part of Quang Ninh province, Ba Che, a mountainous and remote district, is a difficult place to live with over 80% of population being ethnic minority people. The number of poor and nearly-poor families in this district accounts for 30% of the total households. Despite great care from the Party, State, the province, enterprises, individuals and sponsors in assisting poor families and building the rural infrastructure, greater assistance is still needed to boost sustainable poverty reduction and socio-economic development of Ba Che district.
